Thanks for watching, the easiest (but not perfect) way to determine it is that for the most part Roseville has its own electric company, Sacramento County is a part of SMUD, the rest of Northern California has PG&E so cities within Placer, El Dorado, and Amador County. Let us know if you have a specific city you’re curious about.
I like the highlight using the red pen on the map and major highways, I am so bad in finding direction and easily lost somewhere. Thank goodness we now have the step by step voice direction to tell me where to go LOL
This is amazing Intel, thanks! I'm liking Elk Grove. My wife thinks, she likes Folsom. Everyone says Roseville. Rocklin definitely caught my eye. Worried they might be a little far. We're Burbs people.
All of those areas are great suburbs and all have their pros and cons for different reasons. We usually do a personal map tour during the discovery call and talk through some of these areas
elk grove in nicer areas sure but otherwise its near south sac *ghetto*, folsom is kinda the same. roseville is nice rocklin is a little more rural but is like roseville now. loomis is less dense but close enough prices are going up.
First off, I couldn't get past fifteen minutes of this video. Beyond that, Sacramento's infrastructure is completely overwhelmed from overpopulation for the area. This is due to So Cal/LA folks migrating here over the years and more recently the mass exodus from the Bay Area which has made this big town small city a mess and unaffordable for many people born here. If your town/city is somewhere in the Midwest or across the country and have been invaded by Californians, well you know what I mean. As far as driving is concerned, It used to be, you could basically get from one side to the other side of town in about a half hour, now, it can take an hour to traverse half the distance due to stop and go traffic on all freeways during commuter time. Additionally, due to the bay area drivers, yes you, there are multiple wrecks every morning and afternoon which completely gridlock certain freeways, especially trying to get across the causeway to or from the bay area from W. Sacramento. The freeway system used to be substantial up to about twenty-twenty-five years ago. A bypass freeway would not be plausible here as the suburb sprawl is too great and is nothing but housing and commerce and would probably not be completed until 2100. So, taking city streets are the best way to cross from Hwy 80 to 50 and sometimes other places. Just be ready to dodge potholes as typical of CA, the streets are not maintained well. This is due to a mismanagement of city revenue. Furthermore, as in CA fashion, roadways are torn up in multiple areas before completing the previous project. Highway 50 has been literally torn up for ten years through the downtown area due to either contractor incompetence or now a complete overhaul which has been on-going for over five years but does appear it will be an improvement once completed. The housing market here is completely overblown. It's awesome if you own a home and in the game but if not and you're not selling a home from the afore-mentioned areas, good luck buying a decent house in a decent neighborhood. Also, we have a complete homeless mess now. These people are completely drugged out, filthy, starting fires in neighborhoods and leave trash all over the city. Sadly, nothing is done about it, and it's being normalized because we're taking care of 'other things'! If you do have to live in Sacramento, just know it’s hot during the summer but usually around 15-30% humidity and depending on where you chose to live the delta breeze rolls through during the night and cools things down which can make for some really nice evenings. Sacramento has a huge farm to fork restaurant scene with a lot of farmers markets. But like a lot of things, it’s becoming more expensive to eat out and the food quality is going down. Especially now that the labor cost is so high for non-skilled fast-food workers. It has trickled down to the restaurants to have to pay skilled cooks and hospitality/servers/bar tenders more money, which of course falls back to the patron. In conclusion, Sac-tomato has become an overpriced, overpopulated housing hub which used to be a big farm town and lacks the charm of a nice city. A Sacramento trademark used to be, it’s an hour away from SF and Tahoe. Now that’s a two-to-three-hour trip. The rivers are nice if you like boating, water sports, fishing, or just grabbing a tube to float down the American river. Just be careful because the rivers are dangerous, and many people drown every year. I think like most places, try, and research which area you might like to live in and spend a little time before choosing. Cheers!
@@BigplenConcorde when I lived there we would go to 24th and Fruitridge,SW corner and shoot jackrabbits in the vegetable patch, watched the south area destroyed over the years and left the State never to return.
Born and raised in Sacramento. Can’t wait to get the hell out of here. You don’t realize how horrible all of our roads are until you go to a well run area of the country. WOW! Not to mention how miserable the average Californian/sacramentan is. I mean it is noticeable on the plane home back to CA.
It ALL Depends on how much you looking to spend on a house, and o yea , don't forget the taxes per year as well ! AND Depends on your neighbors as well , I know friends that live in a good area, nice street , but been broken into several times, and roseville has got some homes that are Dumps , and BIG Taxes as well...........enough said !
Awesome! I’m glad I found this channel. I love a good gym, Whole Foods or local grown market food store and I am a nurse wanting to relocate in 1-2 months
With the post-pandemic increase in freight being distributed by truck, Sac has become very unsafe. There is no truck bypass lane on either I-80, Hwy 50, I 5 or 99. It has become too easy to become a truck driver. Immigrants from Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan sneak over the border and file false asylum claims; I know because I used to be an asylum attorney and saw it happen; The claims take a decade to adjudicate so meanwhile they work as truck drivers earning $100,000 per year. In a decade, they may make close to a million. They often buy up businesses like trucking companies, gas stations, etc. This makes them wealthier than most Americans. They dominate the American trucking industry these days. I see them 24/7 on every freeway driving sixteen wheelers / contractors / trucks. I don’t believe commuting is safe given how fast and heavy these trucks are. An accident with a car would be merciless.
I grew up a couple of blocks south of El Camino high school. Good neighborhoods, good schools. That was 1960/1970s. I don’t know what it’s like there now.
Live outside of those areas and commute in, do your shopping then back out. There's no safe place here. I've lived in 3 different areas around here and had my car broke into.
Driving any further than 9 miles away from Sacramento is a huge problem during rush hour. He talks about towns like ROcklin and Roseville as part of Sacramento. They are not. A 30 mile one way commute is stupid crazy. That is hours of your day in traffic. Think about the drive time more than anything else
downtown sac isnt all that great and really it isn't as important of a location for people moving here realistically. the lack of a loop highway you describe is actually pretty interesting to think about. all the highways that intersect here is the bigger draw if you dont care about SoCal as much although the drive is very manageable.
Live in Jackson (Amador County), and commuted to Rancho Cordova for 13 years (state job). 50-60 minute commute. Avoids traffic, rural driving all the way. Listened to audio books. Depends on the type of community you desire. I live in a small Gold Country town. Reddest county in California. 👍 I’d move OUT OF CALIFORNIA if I didn’t like my town so much.
TODAS las autopistas están saturadas de las 8am a las 9am y en la tarde de las 3pm a las 6 pm cuando salen del trabajo rumbo a casa . Sugiero mudarte cerca de tu trabajo ,por que si vives en elk grove o por la florin Rd. y trabajas en North Sacramento ,estas frito . Muchos trabajan en San Francisco o Oakland y viven en Sacramento el freeway 80 se pone saturado en la mañana y de regreso igual . MIS FAMILIARES TRABAJAN EN Folson y viven cerca de Pollock Pines por el 50 FW, es perfecto.
Are you SERIOUSLY pimping Sacramento out and making a whole channel out about it? Like the bay area transplants aren't already absolutely OBLITERATING it without help??? This is SO slappable. Find some other topic.
Agree. There’re still a few nice areas to live in but pretty much Sacramento is becoming a dump for homelessness and major crimes in every cities and towns in our not so Golden State anymore 😢
My parents live in Newcastle. The Bay Area people are making living in the gold country intolerable. My parents and their neighbors have always did target practice on their land. Guess who has a problem with it?!? Well, the Bay Area losers banded together and called the sheriff to complain. Told my dad and his neighbor things are gonna change there in Newcastle now that these new people have arrived. Parents are getting out too.
Have vever come across a tweeker CH in over 5 yrs living here. What's a "tweeker" anyways? Homeless camps are everywhere even Roseville has panhandlers hanging outside stores. I've jogged late at night, taken the dog walking at 1am, the kids in the neighborhood leave their bikes and scooters overnight outside on sidewalks.. Why do people exaggerate so much?
Actually the red states are horrible. So many racists and people there are horrible. CA is awesome! Sacramento is friggin heaven!! Nothing beats CA!👍🏼👍🏼

Don't drive to downtown on WATT from Roseville or Antelope, the North Highland section has a lot of potholes until you crossover Highway 80.
Back roads/going around point is great.
Wonderful video and great information. It would be awesome to also know which cities have PG&E vs Smud.

use google street view to investigate around where you are looking and will frequent/work
based on your picks look at el dorado hills perhaps, unless you work in sac, it would be doable regardless
Folsom by Folsom lake the best area super nice.
The upper part of Antelope near PFE RD/Roseville border is a good area.
Dixon is right next to Davis and half the cost and just as nice.

From Fruitridge south, it’s known as the Belgian Congo, beware.
Yeah, I’ve been around there its not a very friendly place

No beltway in Sacramento except there's I-880 that bypasses downtown Sacramento from West Sacramento to close to Citrus Heights.
You must mean 80.
@@HeidiBailey-v1q it was I-880 and was built as the bypass of I-80 through downtown junctions

@@LivinginSacramentoTV I got it, thanks! We're in beginning stages so I will be in touch. Thanks so much!
Yeah, no worries. It will be good to connect. Thanks for watching
probably should have mensioned Rosevile and placer county are more concervative some people take that in to consideration
Avoid anything west of Watt Avenue, including Elk Grove.
Thanks for watching, however there are several nice areas and cities that are West of Watt Avenue.
I live in College Glen, just west of Watt. It is a nice area.
What's wrong with Elk Grove?
Buy anywhere at the beginning of the foothills on the east side of sac. Check fire insurance prices though.
Driving on Sacramento area freeways is bad now and it will be worse in the future.
Avoid anywhere in South Sac.
Lived in Fair Oaks for 50 years. Nice area.
Greenhaven/Pocket, Land Park and South Land Park are very nice places to live.
We have also lived in Fair Oaks for 45 years. Great area to live.
Arden arcade is nice.
Would Vinyard or Elk Grove be South Sac?
To the negative Nellies’ on here, there is no perfect place to live, period. Crime, homelessness, drugs are everywhere.
Thanks for watching!
Not true.
I love Nevada County away from the Sacramento area!
The cope! 😂😂
But you do you!!
Not everywhere I just moved from Sacramento to Suwanee Georgia and there’s no homeless there.

Hello there am a city guy and I like nightclubs 😂
Land Park
We don’t tolerate homeless encampments
Gold River isnt anywhere near the sacramento river and there is schools in gold river
My apologies, I meant to say American River. Honest mistake...
Rea l close to the American River though.
